I just discovered Behind the Commit podcast! ๐ŸŽง (hosted by Mia Bajiฤ‡ ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ) First two episodes feature Python release managers Hugo van Kemenade (3.14&3.15), Pablo Galindo Salgado (3.10&3.11), ลukasz Langa (3.8&3.9) and FastAPI creator Sebastiรกn Ramรญrez open.spotify.com/show/2Z9EwkdBvโ€ฆ


I once told at a conference dinner: "Iโ€™ve got a PhD, but 90% of my work is just applying @fastdotai stuff" A senior researcher nodded: "Same" ๐Ÿ˜… So when the new course dropped, I needed ~60s to subscribe (2-wk refund) solve.it.com/?via_id=gifvtbโ€ฆ 15% off (and yes, I get 15% too)


Python 3.14 is here! ๐ŸŽ‰ Highlights: free-threaded CPython (PEP 779), deferred annotations (PEP 649), t-strings (PEP 750), multiple interpreters (PEP 734), zstd module (PEP 784), faster UUID + nicer errors. Time to upgrade & test. #Python #Py314 python.org/downloads/releโ€ฆ


Need pandas + Jupyter for quick analysis but don't want them in your production dependencies? uv run --with pandas --with jupyter jupyter lab One command. Zero environment pollution. โœจ #uv #jupyter #DevTips


Two Python gems Iโ€™ve been playing with: ๐Ÿ” Tenacity โ€“ painless retry logic for anything. No more rolling your own loops + sleeps tenacity.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ โšก DumPy โ€“ a bold rethink of NumPy: โ€œdonโ€™t make me think, just run (fast, on GPUs)โ€ dynomight.net/dumpy/ Both worth a ๐Ÿ‘€


Today I learned... `uv init` now not only creates a new Python environment but also creates โ”œโ”€โ”€ .gitignore โ”œโ”€โ”€ README.md โ”œโ”€โ”€ main.py โ”œโ”€โ”€ pyproject.toml โ””โ”€โ”€ .python-version realpython.com/python-uv/#creโ€ฆ


marimo = Jupyter for serious Python work ๐Ÿ”ฅ - Pure .py files (git-friendly!) - No more restart & run all - Deploy as scripts OR interactive web apps - Built-in SQL support - Reactive cells that auto-update dependencies marimo.io


When I started with Python, I was confused by the murky difference between variables and references. ๐Ÿค” This ๐Ÿ‘‡ explains it brilliantly: Why Python has No Variables? medium.com/@king_star/whyโ€ฆ

๐Ÿ Python environments got easier! uv is the new rust-powered packaging tool that might finally solve the XKCD-famous dependency puzzle m.xkcd.com/1987/ Quick start: * `uv run` for most cases * `uv venv` for virtual envs * `uv pip` for packages (don't mix with regularโ€ฆ


Automate your virtualenv activation! Using autoenv (github.com/hyperupcall/auโ€ฆ), you can: 1. Automatically activate virtualenv when entering a directory 2. Run ANY command when cd-ing into a folder Example: # Set up autoenv echo "source venv/bin/activate" > .env # Or run customโ€ฆ


AI is changing how we code, but should it change how we teach Python? I've embraced LLMs for coding, especially with pandas, but I'm unsure if beginners should start this way. Anyway, curious about the AI way? Try Andrew Ng's 'AI Python for Beginners': deeplearning.ai/short-courses/โ€ฆ

Can you figure out why the outputs are the way they are for these two similar but not identical bits of code?

Use "named constructors" to create multiple ways to initialize objects class PaperSize: @classmethod def iso_a4(cls): return cls(210, 297) def __init__(self, width_mm, height_mm): self.width_mm = width_mm self.height_mm = height_mmโ€ฆ
